All that Gaurvi Sharma needs are a pair of sharp scissors and loads of magazines. "I have a vendor who collects magazines for me according to the paper quality and visuals," says Sharma, a Chandigarh-based artist, who has been making collages since 2008.

In her works, faces are made of multiple bits of paper, trees are grafted from several printed species, and a delicious springtime pervades within the frames. Her house, on the other hand, is a mess of magazines.
